THE most common word of all

Hey there!

Thanks to Spencer for sharing all the knowledge. I did a little sketch to apply some embellishment effects I've learned from the lessons. The word is not the focus here, I went for a very simple "The", with a little ligature that works better flat (white on black) because of the little cut in the ligature that is meant to be a shadow. I've combined some illustrator effects with some photoshop effects for the final artwork (I can't tell you what I've used exactly since I used different combinations for each piece and saved them in a rasterized file...). Anyway, thanks again for the lessons! Hope you like it!
